"""Bootstrap compiler for the L2 language.

This file now contains working scaffolding for:

* Parsing definitions, literals, and ordinary word references.
* Respecting immediate/macro words so syntax can be rewritten on the fly.
* Emitting NASM-compatible x86-64 assembly with explicit data and return stacks.
* Driving the toolchain via ``nasm`` + ``ld``.
